If you want the latest backports code, go to
http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ and get the
latest. You will need to build it yourself. The saucy-backports package is
probably not for wifi.
The manual for the AP says that it uses WPA2 as the default. It has 802.11n
capability and probably is running in 802.11g+n mode.
